While Nemesis was so bad that Maid in Manhattan beat it, I'm still convinced that The Two Towers played a role. It was such a huge juggernaut film released only 5 days after Nemesis. Naturally, Nemesis was over shadowed by it.

Of course, if Nemesis wasn't a train wreck it probably would have at least beat Maid in Manhattan opening weekend. Even then, The Two Towers would have demolished Nemesis when it opened a mere 5 days later.

In fairness to Nemesis, Maid in Manhattan opened in more theaters. Not sure why a romcom would be in more theaters than a sci-fi action film, but it was.

Wow - with "Despicable Me", "Monsters University" and World War Z" opening here yesterday in Australia I checked my local cinema listings to see how many sessions were left for STID and was surprised to see it is now gone!

Didn't really matter as once was MORE than enough for me but ....wow - REALLY?!? THAT quickly?

There must be some sharp pencil boys at Paramount who are seriously wondering what happened!

Moving to the box office thread, since there's similar discussion in there and not much new content here.
